Multichannel Radiation-Compensated Systems for Temperature and Humidity Monitoring for High Energy Physics Detectors

Monitoring humidity and temperature in silicon-based high-energy physics (HEP) detectors is indispensable but challenging due to space restrictions, radiation, sub-zero temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. This manuscript presents humidity and tempera ...

Robust Analog Multisensory Array System for Lossy Capacitive Sensors Over Long Distances

Sandro Carrara, Andromachi Tsirou, Amar Kapic

A robust capacitive multisensory readout system is presented in this article. The system consists of a few thousand lossy capacitive-based sensors that can be modeled as a parallel connection of sensor capacitor and undesirable leakage resistance. The real ...

Uncertainty analysis of polymer-based capacitive relative humidity sensor at negative temperatures and low humidity levels

Sandro Carrara, Andromachi Tsirou, Amar Kapic

Capacitive relative humidity sensors, widely used in industrial and environmental applications, should be interchangeable and ideally have parametrizable response to relative humidity changes. While the effects of temperatures in the range between 0 degree ...

Thermal and humidity monitoring in "Cold" silicon-based high energy physics detectors

Sandro Carrara, Andromachi Tsirou, Amar Kapic

As high readout channel density and compact design become the norm for HEP detectors so is the detector cooling at temperatures below the experimental site dewpoint. This increases the importance of humidity and temperature monitoring systems that are also ...

Radiation-tolerant Multichannel Dew Point Temperature Monitoring System for High Energy Physics Applications

Amar Kapic

The next generation of high-energy physics (HEP) detectors will predominantly be silicon-based. As pixel sensor technology gains momentum and the number of channels surpasses one billion (for a volume of approximately 20 m3) to achieve the high resolution ...

Humidity Sensors for High Energy Physics Applications: A Review

Sandro Carrara, Andromachi Tsirou, Amar Kapic

Modern silicon-based detectors for high-energy physics operate in an experimental environment with sub-zero temperatures. At those temperatures, even low traces of humidity will produce vapor condensation with damages to the detectors. Monitoring relative ...
